The Donald Trump administration slapped a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, putting pressure on America’s biggest tech firms as part of a broader crackdown on immigration. The move was made to "protect" American workers and stop major tech firms from exploiting loopholes in the current system, which allowed them to hire foreign workers for less money. Immigration enforcement is also continuing to escalate in U.S. cities with more ICE raids and National Guard deployments in Chicago, Illinois and Portland, Oregon. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said that the decision by the Trump admin was an "attack" on U.S. citizens in his state. Newsweek Reporter Dan Gooding breaks down the latest this week in Immigration.
